Stability Chambers
Stability chambers are used to create a controlled environment for testing and storing a wide range of products in specific temperature, humidity and light conditions to study the effects of these conditions on the test product or medication.
ICH Approved Stability Chambers
The high precision temperature controls of Memmert stability chambers were adapted to the ICH guidelines, option Q1A for stability tests. The high level of precision that Memmert stability chambers offer helps keep consumers safe by allowing researchers and product developers to determine how long products remain in their optimal and acceptable states before becoming unsafe to use due to the presence of harmful bacteria, decomposition or air exposure.
